Wendy Williams' son is arrested after 'punching dad Kevin Hunter in the nose'

Wendy Williams' son with her estranged husband Kevin Hunter has been arrested early this morning after he punched his father in the face, according to reports.   

Kevin Hunter Jr allegedly slugged Hunter in the nose in order to free himself from a headlock Hunter had put him in at a parking lot near their family home in Livingston, New Jersey, just after 12am on Wednesday morning, reported The Blast.

The 19-year-old was arrested for assault but Hunter said in a statement he would not be pressing charges. Kevin Jr was held for a short time before he was released from custody.

The fight allegedly kicked off over an argument about Hunter's fight with Wendy for  spousal support after she filed for divorce in April shortly after it was revealed Hunter's mistress Sharina Hudson had given birth to a little girl.

Before the bust up, Hunter reportedly accused his son of being 'brainwashed' by the TV show host, 54, as police confirmed they were investigating the 'incident'.

In a statement to TMZ, Hunter said: 'I love my son very much and I will not be pursuing this matter legally. Things are not always how they appear.'

A source told the outlet the father and son have been at odds over Hunter repeatedly telling Kevin Jr he needed to stop relying on Wendy for handouts and create his own success. 

The conversation was brought up again early Wednesday morning, leading to the fight, according to the source. 

However, a differing account claims the reason for the fight was actually started by an argument over Hunter's treatment of Wendy, prompting Hunter to say Kevin Jr had been 'brainwashed'. 

Wendy, who is living in with Kevin Jr in a new apartment in Manhattan, is said to have taken her son to the New Jersey home in order for him to pick something up.

The talk show host dropped off her son at home and was supposed to return to pick him back up sometime later. 

Hunter was apparently inside the home at the time, unknown to Kevin Jr. They then went to a store together and that's where the fight went down.  

It is unclear why Hunter was at the New Jersey home because Wendy had made him clear out last month, giving him a 48-hour notice to remove all
